September 9 - Board of Selectmen - Regular Meeting - Town of Orange, CT Live Meetings (topics: alpr)
alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...Yes, >> but you're not going to go long-winded on flock tonight, right? >> I got two minutes. >> Eric Mason, [address redacted]. Um, I...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...meeting, right? Uh because the mayor of New Haven came out and said, "Oh, don't worry. We don't use flock, we use." And then named one of the competitors. And I want to be very clear that when we say...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...that we're worried about these cameras, we don't mean that we're just worried about Flock. We're worried about Axon and all of the others, Motorola, all the competitors, Recor. When we say we don't...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...>> Okay. >> And my response to that will be we responded to flock because that was who our contract was with. But I also think that...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...our police department, our board of selectmen, and many others, um whether it be Flock or any of those other names that he just mentioned, we understand that there's a problem and a...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...concern with this. So, we wouldn't be entering into any agreements with any of the others as well as Flock. Like I said, you were talking to Jim. Our agreement was with Flock. So that's why...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...the others as well as Flock. Like I said, you were talking to Jim. Our agreement was with Flock. So that's why we refer to Flock. However, the police and this board have learned...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...said, you were talking to Jim. Our agreement was with Flock. So that's why we refer to Flock. However, the police and this board have learned their lesson that there's a lot of...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...beginning between the red light cameras which are traffic speed and uh light running camera and the flock camera which is just continually taking photos of every vehicle as it's clicking by....alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...safety and speed control, traffic control, um not to hinder it in that case. The flock one just clicking everybody's plate as it goes by so that you might get somebody who caused a...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...and they took down select cameras but when we said pause we're not expanding further on those ALPR camera numbers. We're just keeping steady at the number that we have....alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...we paused for the time being the new additional flock cameras that we had voted on I think in July or something like that. >> Correct....alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...>> Correct. >> But there were or still are other cameras, flock cameras in this town that have not been paused. Am I correct? >> The ones by the highway are still...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...there's no misconception that we don't have any cameras working in the town of Orange with Flock or Recor, whoever it is. We still do. We just didn't add to it as we had voted on in July and pause...

August 12 - Board of Selectmen - Regular Meeting - Town of Orange, CT Live Meetings (topics: alpr, doorbell_partnership)
alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...to break away from our normal way that we do things. Anybody who wishes to speak on the flock camera contract that will be done during public participation, you get two minutes to...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...opportunity now to look before you leap. I think Milford leapt with both feet into these flock cameras and they are now paying the price. Uh, I think that's caused an erosion of trust and the...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...of that investigation is referred to as a subject as well. Uh we are citizens, not subject. These flock cameras turn everybody who appears before them a subject. Um investigations don't...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...proven to make mistakes at best and be deceptive at worst is the antithesis to public service. Today it's called flock. Tomorrow it could be called something else. The bottom line is that we live in...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...Good evening. While I do support safety for everybody, uh the flock systems track every vehicle in our town without consent or oversight, including people who have...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...protect our privacy and civil liberties by exploring other safety measures. As we all know, flock systems record, make, model, color, and license plate numbers of every car it sees sees, uploads them...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...to be installed, monitored, fixed, and replaced. In other towns, residents have su successfully stopped flock contracts through public pressure, and I'm hoping to help stop it here. Also, we love this...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...got your message. I got your ideas and they are saved. But right now, we're dealing a little bit with this flock and camera issue. And so, >> I should have said, "Thank you for your...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...because it's not going to generate a lot of money, but I'll tell you what, it'll solve the problem. As far as the flock cameras, mixed emotions. Uh, I am a retired police officer from this town....alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...badge and gun 22 years ago, I took an oath. I'll still die for this town. Okay. Proud to say it. Uh, the flock cameras, uh, I'm not for what they're being used for today. However, I hope...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...Sam passed away. What if it was a homicide and his car is missing from the garage? Now, that flock camera could uh uh be useful in solving that crime. So, my position on the fly camera is this....alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...Uh so just a few minutes I want to raise two points but before that I would like to recognize that Flock cameras are one of actually two ALPR companies that I believe this town is contracted under...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...two points but before that I would like to recognize that Flock cameras are one of actually two ALPR companies that I believe this town is contracted under with the other one uh being Recor...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...surveillance technology needs Fourth Amendment scrutiny and I believe that ALPR technology is destined for the higher courts. Lastly, although these cameras absolutely do solve crime, I did...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...leaked on the internet." It's only a matter in time with this technology. I certainly do not trust flock recore or the government with this information. Thank you....alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...anywhere. And then recently um in Middletown and Bridgeport, they are testing new flock drones. And these drones are meant to surveil crime scenes from above. I for one view this as a a...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...And then what happens when those fees keep accumulating? Do you get you lose your license? Do you go to flock jail? Are we going to have jails full of people because they have too many flock...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...your license? Do you go to flock jail? Are we going to have jails full of people because they have too many flock tickets? That's all I have to say. Thank you....alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...A couple people came in late. I So you didn't hear. We are hearing all of the comments on the flock camera thing during this public participation. You're allowed two minutes to speak because it...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...I've lost count a little bit, but eight uh police officers have been arrested due to misuse of the flock system, which they've used to track uh you know, their active uh romantic partners and those...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...where a woman got dragged out of her car uh based on non-updated data that was in the flock database, which uh was acted on in good faith by the Brookfield Police Department because they trusted...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...That information in the database was in fact not accurate. And around the country, we're also seeing uh flock come out to meetings like this and put representatives up in front of people...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...incidents with uh technical data, there are multiple disclosed uh current active security threats uh in flock system which have not yet been addressed. Um, and to to kind of touch on what someone...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...based on available data, the TSA fails anywhere between 70 and 95% of their own internal self tests. Uh Flock is currently per their own data serving uh 20 billion license plate reads per month...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...important um to reference something that I do hear quite frequently in these meetings. The flock and other alper based tracking systems are discreet and separate from the ticket enforcement...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...for coming out tonight because I I just learned a whole lot. I really have I wasn't familiar at all um with the flock cameras and all the data privacy concerns. I certainly am very concerned...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...>> Thank you so much. >> Is there anybody else on this issue? This is on the flock issue. It's public participation. It will be limited to the board during it. Jody...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...>> Thank you. >> Is there anybody else that wishes to participate on flock? A very short thing because we're not >> short....alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...I'm proud to live here and uh hopefully I die here, but I don't want there to be flock cameras tracking my the ambulance that comes down the street so that they can then monetize that, you know, to...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...think, is is more than capable of solving a crime like that. We didn't need a flock camera. It was probably done faster, right? Because you have a visual and you're able to track. But I...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...Okay. I want to thank everybody for coming out tonight to uh express their right for privacy uh regarding the flock cameras. Um, you know, Connecticut State Statute 2614...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...of the I actually have a question for the board of selectmen. I think the flock cameras could be very useful in the future on the major thoroughares within Orange Race Road, Orange Center...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...item three is uh for us to consider an act on the request to um pause or terminate the agreement with Flock. So, I'll give you a little bit more information on that as we go here....alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...that? >> Yep. >> So the two flock cameras that we have are on Marshall Road. >> Mhm....alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...are on Marshall Road. >> Mhm. >> So it could not have been the flock cameras. No, it was Milford. >> Oh, it was Milford....alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...>> Yes, we know. But it's on us. Thanks. >> And so, um, so that's part of this. The contract with Flock, it's a year year-long contract, one-year contract, runs out in December....doorbell_partnershipWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...we all have to look in the mirror when we complain about this because how many of you have a Ring doorbell? If you're if you're if you're Yeah. If you're sitting on your porch or...doorbell_partnershipWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...you're sitting on your porch or somewhere near your front door, you have a Ring doorbell and you're talking to about something, it picks it up. How many of you have Alexa in the house? It...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...tracked them all the way to the house where their car was parked with the flock. So there's there are some pluses to the flock cameras, but at what expense to all of us in our daily lives?...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...where their car was parked with the flock. So there's there are some pluses to the flock cameras, but at what expense to all of us in our daily lives? I mean, I'm not a very exciting person....alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...you know, it it'll it'll it just keeps clicking. It just keeps clicking. The flock cameras, the red light cameras are not on the agenda for tonight. That's a whole different animal. And when we...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...at least financially it is my understanding that the town has already paid flock in one sum the I believe it was $20,000. So there's no more financial...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...have mixed emotions. Um, we heard from our police chief, uh, the value of the flock cameras and how they help us do policing not only in this town, but as a state. There's a lot of things that...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...before and we have the ability to now. For those worried about money, first of all, the flock cameras that were originally put in place by the town. The money was paid for from asset forfeite....alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...dollars. It was money that we had seized for different uh offenses from the police department used for the flock cameras. Um, you know, I understand people's concerns...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...clear. This is not about speeding. This is not about red lights. That is not flock. That's a different contract, a different vendor, a different entity. The flock cameras are not making any...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...flock. That's a different contract, a different vendor, a different entity. The flock cameras are not making any money for the town. They are used specifically and only for tracking...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...that car go? Our police department can put that license plate in a system and they can track through the flock cameras throughout the state. As Jim mentioned about the murder situation, there was...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...driveway in Guilford, the personal person's own vehicle, the the license plate was put into the flock system. They tracked that car to Waterberry. So, if your car is stolen,...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...bright people out there and um and I worry about nefarious acts with this system. I don't know what Flock would have to do to convince me that is that their product is unreachable. Um, I...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...see just a sidebar you with a ring or a cell phone that's our choice. >> This is government this is flock. >> True. >> So to me that's a fundamental...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...missing. There's been a lot going on with this since Flock wanted to get into our state. You might want to check...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...in their direct donations or if they have a pack or something got money from flock because [applause] because that's how it works. the money...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...technology people, which I'm only two steps ahead of Judy as far as the computer, um you will find that Flock has helped people to uh with this with their...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...>> Well, I said it from the onset. Uh it'd be my position to make a motion to pause the flock technology um and to allow the first selectman to discuss with town council um to make sure that the town is...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...All right. Show the record is 510. Okay. Thank you very much. And that's the end of flock. In November, we will be talking about it, but it's going to be an executive session item because...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...>> you know, you'll start getting complaints there'll be too much traffic. >> Yeah, probably. We'll put the flock cameras to film them all. But so that's what happened at 8:00 last night. Big Y...
2026-07-09 -- Board of Selectmen
July 8 - Board of Selectmen - Regular Meeting - Town of Orange, CT Live Meetings (topics: alpr, drone)
alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...Uh Mary Hurley, [address redacted] in Orange. Uh we are here to also discuss the flock system being implemented in time. >> No, right now we're discussing this one...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...>> Yes, he is. Okay. Is there anybody now? It's still not time for flock [laughter] agenda....alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...>> You want >> tell me what you want. >> I would do flock first. There's for the executive session if needed is for ultimate....alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...executive session if needed is for ultimate. >> Flock is not. So, I would >> gotcha. >> We can take care of flock now....alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...>> Flock is not. So, I would >> gotcha. >> We can take care of flock now. >> Okay. And would you like to uh >> that one as you're handling it or is the...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...>> Traffic cameras. >> Great. All right. >> Flock is what? >> License plate readers. >> Okay. So, flock is license plate...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...>> Flock is what? >> License plate readers. >> Okay. So, flock is license plate readers. Alterate is the other camera ones....alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...of Orange, and we wish him well in his retirement. So, I just wanted to say that publicly. Thank you. So, uh, Flock, um, if you recall, this board several months ago approved us to enter into an...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...um, if you recall, this board several months ago approved us to enter into an agreement with Flock for license plate readers. We already had some license plate readers in town from a different...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...plate readers in town from a different company called Recor. And so, we uh, entered into an agreement with Flock. It was signed off on by the uh, first selectman. I discussed guard rails that...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...obviously to Connecticut. So as a result of those guardrails that the legislature put into place, Flock has uh added an addendum to the Connecticut departments that outline those agreements and those...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...guard rails that Connecticut has put in place. and it's agreement that we have to sign along with flock. Uh as the first selectman signed the first agreement, he would have to sign the...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...months ago and I assured the board we have these things in place and this is basically just flock codifying what Connecticut has put into place and this agreement went out to all of the police...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...agreement went out to all of the police departments in Connecticut that are using Flock. Um, Attorney Weaver did look at it. He made some modifications to the agreement that he wanted to see...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...look at it. He made some modifications to the agreement that he wanted to see in there. quack uh flock very quickly uh agreed to those modifications and so they're waiting for a signature by us on...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...I had asked for an indemnification provision paragraph five um and they which flock agreed to but the statute requires again paragraphs 3, four, seven and nine be in any uh contract...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...going forward. So this act came out after the town executed the agreement with flock. Flock came back for the amendment and it's because of public act 26-14....alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...>> Okay. Thank you, >> Chief. Quick question. Um the current contract we have with Flock goes from to when? probably uh a year from the time it was...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...would any sharing go with another town? they could actually access it right through the flock system and if they had questions uh from us we would certainly talk to departmentto department but...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...are all the towns and cities in the state of Connecticut who currently have a contract with flock, which I understand are quite a few, >> also entering into such amendments...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...what Judy was saying then, so if we're dealing with another town, they're the flock is under the same restrictions with that town as they are with our town....alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...>> Thank you, >> Mitch. I wanted to comment on your question. So when Flock initially approached the chief, they wanted an amendment that says go see our website...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...through state statute or through the amendment the same protections would so in other words if if flock had information from the town of orange and the town of Brford for instance...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...I'm speaking on behalf of myself and not any members of my family. Uh, I did do my research on flock, not the other system. And I also read most of the OLR bill analysis SHB5449...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...bill analysis SHB5449 in act concerning automated license license plate reader systems. Is that the document that we've all been referring to in terms of the guard rails...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...actual events that have actually happened in jurisdictions that have had flock systems, most of which have then removed flock systems. First of which is misidentifications....alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...happened in jurisdictions that have had flock systems, most of which have then removed flock systems. First of which is misidentifications. Cameras have misidentified license...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...people supposedly for driving stolen vehicles when they were in fact their own systems. Flock likes to tell everyone that we are so good. We can tell you not only the face of the person...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...There have been not only law enforcement individuals but private employees of the flock system as well as hackers who have used this information for flagrant abuse such as two officers in Kansas City...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...boyfriends for their own personal use. There has also been a documented history of flock being used to track journalists, political opponents, and people unrelated to criminal...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...investigations. Next, costs versus measurable benefit. Many cities using the flock system have removed the flock system because the communities noticed that the privacy and fourth amendment...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...multiple car accidents. And as bad as it would be at 30 miles an hour in town, wait till the flock system is going to be implemented on our highways when we're traveling at 70 and 80 miles an...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...hour. Let's admit it. But that's an aside. Okay. Worst of all, the flock system uses an algorithm method which use notices coincidences in travel to alert...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...Imagine if you always follow your mother to church on on Sunday. That can be enough to trigger the flock system algorithm to alert law enforcement that you are a potential perpetrator. The...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...there are none. Conclusion: Most communities who use the flock system end up ripping it out, which wastes taxpayer doctor taxpayer dollars, both implementing them and then...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...>> So, um, >> are you familiar with someone by the name of Josh Thomas from Okay. Flock. >> He is the communication security officer of Flock. Uh, you can I I sent an email...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...name of Josh Thomas from Okay. Flock. >> He is the communication security officer of Flock. Uh, you can I I sent an email something off of Facebook that was sent to me. I sent it to Jim. I sent it to...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...traffic cameras, which is completely different. Um, you're right. Flock is not going to police the police and there are police officers that do not act with integrity....alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...police. We are going to police the police not flock. We will police our police. We've got very strong statutes in the state of Connecticut...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...We've got very strong statutes in the state of Connecticut not only in regards to flock but in regards to police accountability. I don't need flock to police the Orange...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...not only in regards to flock but in regards to police accountability. I don't need flock to police the Orange Police Department. That's not going to happen....alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...>> right? >> And then we entered into an agreement with Flock, >> right? >> Um in large part because Milford went to...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...>> right? >> Um in large part because Milford went to Flock >> and the state police have gone to Flock >> and we want to be able to share data...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...>> Um in large part because Milford went to Flock >> and the state police have gone to Flock >> and we want to be able to share data with Milford and the state police. We...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...discussed the system and implementing it. We had already had recor and we were we discussed implementing flock and at that time I think I gave you about a dozen cases that we solved crimes with...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...that I was at where this was discussed was in December and at that meeting we also discussed the the ALPR cameras which are the automatic license plate reader cameras and the red light and...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...was in December and at that meeting we also discussed the the ALPR cameras which are the automatic license plate reader cameras and the red light and fraction cameras. There was a lot of...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...With that, it seems as if the momentum just carried through and no one even really understands what the ALPR cameras are. And I think that that's that's it's it's...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...be really well doumented protocols for how we're going to use it. The reason Flock is introducing all these things in Connecticut is because those are all things that they've done. Those things...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...I don't know as much about them. There's not as much bad press about them, but Flock is a big data company. They can say, "Oh, we don't want to sell your information," but they want there it's...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...something about Kansas City. So, at some point, Kansas City ran a search on our data, you know, from Flock and and I get that we're trying to fix that now. And you know um we we have to be very...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...do not think this is the right the right company. And I know that these systems integrate with other systems. Flock is like an add-on. They can anyone you can get a camera for something else and then...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...like an add-on. They can anyone you can get a camera for something else and then all of a sudden you can load Flock into it and connect it to everything and it's just a bigger network. And um yeah, I...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...for, you know, there's there's if you look at there's a lot of flock um transparency portals that towns will put up. Milford had one. It's changed. It's gone on and off. I...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...that towns will put up. Milford had one. It's changed. It's gone on and off. I mean, just just search Milford Flock, there's tons of articles. Milford's got how 40 of these cameras. They have a...droneWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...there's tons of articles. Milford's got how 40 of these cameras. They have a drone that'll fly up and chase people's cars around and stuff. it. I don't know if anyone here has ever watched the show...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...some research before we make a decision to continue with them because there are better companies than Flock. >> Mr. M. No, Frank, not yet. I'm letting other people that haven't spoken yet...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...you know, well defined. Their their use case is small and the scope is narrow. The problem with a company like Flock is that their scope is functionally limitless, right? And the the courts...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...that this person is, uh, expected to, you know, be accused of this crime. The flock uh system provides a complete endrun around that capability by providing this real-time license plate...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...across you know all sorts of places in our country. As was mentioned um you know Flock as a company if it was just about you know checking license plates well then why are Flock cameras...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...know Flock as a company if it was just about you know checking license plates well then why are Flock cameras appearing on trails and in national parks and they're integrating with you...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...know people's IP cameras. you can as a private customer just pipe your data into flock and they're pulling all of this into their system. And this is very troubling because it is it is making an...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...not that is a violation. But there's additional problems with, you know, Flock as as a company. As you know, you mentioned, Chief, that, you know, Flock really cares about data security and...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...additional problems with, you know, Flock as as a company. As you know, you mentioned, Chief, that, you know, Flock really cares about data security and they're going to use encryption and and...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...they're going to use encryption and and all that's great until you find out that the Flock cameras are running Android 8.0 and we're currently on Android 16. And Android 8 hasn't received security...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...Google in 5 years, right? And as was also [clears throat] mentioned, right, there have been incidents where Flock employees have been found to have been utilizing uh these camera feeds for...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...perhaps promotional per purposes, perhaps something more nefarious. But despite Flock saying that employees do not have access to these systems, uh it was found in the logs that one of the...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...not have access to these systems, uh it was found in the logs that one of the Flock employees had been repeatedly viewing the cameras in the pool area of a gym because the pool and the gym,...alpr_flockWatch on YouTube ▸ > ...which was a public gym, had opted in to the security promise that is streaming all of our data into the flock ecosystem.

Every finding in this report is a keyword match against exactly these files. Download them to check a quote in its full context, or to search for something this report's keyword list does not cover.
What's inside: one plain-text .txt file per meeting, named <date>_<video-id>_<meeting-title>.txt, plus a MANIFEST.txt giving the date range and how much of the town's video archive is transcribed.
How to use it
unzip orange-meeting-transcripts.zip -d orange
cd orange
# every meeting that mentions a term, with the surrounding line
grep -rin "license plate" .
# just the meeting dates, from the filenames
grep -ril "flock" . | sort
The filename's leading date is the meeting date, so a hit tells you which meeting to watch. Find that meeting in the Timeline below for a direct, timestamped link to that moment in the video.
These are machine-generated captions, not certified minutes. Expect mis-heard names and technical terms, and quote the video rather than the transcript when accuracy matters.
Generated 2026-09-27T15:42:24 from Orange's meeting transcripts and agenda documents. Home addresses spoken during public comment are redacted; see the archive MANIFEST for what that means.
